Modified Stock and MX

OP just wants to know how popular four cylinders are in our sport.

There is a guy in Oregon with an Escort and someone else around here with a W or V/SA something or other that ran against a GT/AA Cavalier after dark with no track lights. 6 second delay on the tree... And someone with a VW dragster keeps showing up for the National event around here. G/D, I think.

I have a V8...

Jim, You are correct. I honestly believe the opportunity to have a class for so many variations has become a fault when it was planned as a favor and opening for individuals with a favorite project car. Result true class heads up racing has become less and less valued and highlighted.
The problems with factoring in new combinations, new technology are the only time many pay attention as they cannot compete with last years HP on their motor with new more favorable numbers.

Dale, Jim Caughlin IS that guy from Oregon with the Escort, and before that, a Pinto.
Dick, considering the vast majority of spectators leave the stands after the Nitro cars finish their session, chances are that a bunch of identical SB Camaros running 9s or 10s won`t keep them glued to their seats. If they consider Pro Stockers to be "too boring", what makes you think that YOUR proposal would pack the bleachers?

Name Recognition, local racers known at their home tracks or locals. Cars are something spectators could own. Spectators could believe THEY could someday be featured in Ads in Dragster or magazines as face of Holley, M+H, etc...All they have to do is get involved or have partners like the 60s when it was brothers, teams etc. known by their divisional friends...Anyone remember when the factory cars had names on them? BIG names you could identify? Who can identify any of the stockers or SS cars today to follow their success or become involved? It wouldn't work without a start and a follow thru.
